Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! discussion thread

[Fencedude]

The most moe eyedrops

Quite the fun show, overall.

-Fourteen sick? Yes yes. Unfortunetally I am familiar with the term Chuu2 anime. :\
-Gothic lolita cat burglar is still learning the trade.
-STOP FLIPPING SIDES OF THE SCREEN SO FAST! Gonna give me a headache OP. Fansubs trying to follow the blinking isn't helping any either.
-Why would you dress a cat like that? You horrible monster.
-Main character is a recovering goth with an all too familiar voice.
-No. No main character who's name I haven't remembered yet even if you just said it. No fate is not pulling you in that direction. Fate has other ideas for you. Sillier ideas.
-Far far sillier...
-Misaki Mei clone has a laser eye. Wonder if she's related to the Summers family.
-"Our dark souls are soulmates soul brother."
-Teacher assisted social status suicide.
-I can't decide if the roller shoes make her cuter or provide more potential for madness.
-How would you know the Konami code little girl? Games haven't used that in your life time.
-"I like to suck down Mr Peter. It's like magic."
-"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow." hehehehe
-She has alot of cra-- *glances at shelves* She has an admirable collections in those boxes.
-IMOUTO BLAAAADE! Dawww.

That was okay. Which for a KyoAni show feels wrong. For a KyoAni first episode to feel just "okay" is weird. Except for the physical comedy in the nurse's office, Rikka being smacked & imouto with a sword it's already fading from memory.

Hey, it got subbed so why not watch it now?

This opening/ending are amazing. Shame it wasn't used for the actual show. Rikka was adorable when she got hit by the volleyball, when her magic seal got smudged, when she got hit by the baseball, with her extreme volleyball magically move, balancing the volleyball on her umbrella... OK everything she did was cute.

[Draneor]

I wonder how many of these KyoAni is going to make?

Middle school Rikka! So cute...

Oh, lol. So Rikka started being chuuni about her arm because she hurt it?

Rikka, in stories like those, Tomo would die right after you say that line.

Oh, lol. Rikka is almost in a full body cast. So I wonder if she started being chuuni because she's kind of clumsy.

[stardf29]

Well, seems to me that KyoAni has another winner here, and not just because they have succeeded once again in portraying adorable little sisters and an awesome mother.

Rikka's chuunibyou mannerisms are funny, but those moments when she (temporarily) acts more like a teenage girl are ridiculously cute. Probably because they contrast so much with her chuunibyou side. Kinda reminds me of Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko in that way, I guess.

Meanwhile, Yuuta inflicting various comic violence on Rikka reminded me of Chiaki and Nodame.

It'll be interesting to see how (or if) Yuuta will be able to reconcile his "embarrassing" past with his current self. Not throwing away his stuff might be a start. It'll also be interesting to see how those other girls get roped into all of this.

Definitely will be following this.

Yeah, based on the Lite 1 and 2 I'd say she's somewhat of a klutz. I'm guessing that she'll be able to do odd things that others can't but normal stuff like catching a ball will be difficult for her.

Episode 1:

- Hey, they gave a good explanation of chuunibyou for anyone starting this and not knowing.
- Ahaha. the first thing you see of Rikka, besides her eye, is ZETTAI RYOUIKI! <3
- Oh god what an introduction. Awesome.
- Ah yes the much discussed OP. Uh, it really didn't bother me. I think the left/right swaps could have been slowed down slightly, but there were some really cool effects with it. Not a top tier KyoAni OP, but I'll watch it each time.

- IMOUTOOOOOOO! Love her at first sight. Because she's a mature imouto. Mature imoutos are one of my favorite character archetypes ever, alognside down-to-earth ojou-samas. And Fukuhara Kaori at that!
- Imouto with giant sword!
- Double imouto! And a cute mom. KyoAni loves cute moms.

- Enter cute classmate! <3 Akasaki Chinatsu.
- And then his heart stops as Rikka walks by.
- "It opened!" Oh that satisfied look on Rikka's face...
- AND THAT FUCKING STRUT. You will never be as cool as Rikka. Give up now.

- Yuuta seals his Dark Flame Master. Rikka sees. Rikka knows. You cannot escape Rikka.
- Yuuta resolves to get in good with Shinka. But then... the Rikkapolypse.
- Heh, shes great mimicing his poses.
- Wow, absolutelt in love with Rikka's reactions. The fact that she's not always in character makes both her in and out of character reactions better. She'll go from totally chuunibyou-ing one moment to totally not the next, and the changes feel so natural.
- And there's another great example, how she goes from UNVEILING HER EYES OF SOMETHING OR OTHER to losing her contact.
- EYEDROPS! Cutest eyedrops since Lucky Star.
- Her every mannerism gives me heart attacks. Heart attacks every few seconds. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

- Heh, poor Yuuta, loses his chance to do something normal. You are bound to Rikka, forever!
- That ahoge. <3
- Ahaha, Rikka getting karate chopped is much funnier than it should be. I think I like it because it triggers her personality to shift momentarily out of chuu2. And the difference between the two is where my moe manifests!

- Heh, Rikka is over for dinner and mom is already trying to set Yuuta up. ALso, I would kill to see Rikka and Kuzuha become friends...
- Speaking of imouto, smaller imouto! With large sword!
- Pouty mom. <3

- And awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww adorable Rikka in the rain. Fantastic scene.

Oh and I didn't mention it, but FukuJun is every bit as perfect in this role as we knew he would be. And Uchida Maaya is fantastic.

Fuuuuuuuck yes that was incredible. And the ED is incredible too. This show is everything I could have hoped for and Rikka is even more. So good.

Supposed to be one per episode. Which essentially means they're animating an extra ~4 minutes every week.

- "It healed!" ::totally unconvinced look from Tomo-chan::
- "It gets heavy when it's wet. It's annoying." XD
- Mummy Rikka!

Oh god this was gold. I will be so mad if we don't meet Tomo-chan in the main series...

[Fencedude]

Oh god. That was hilarious.

More of Tomo-chan and the sensei!

KyoAni uploaded the episode 2 preview to Youtube.
